President Trump has exact requirements for what RPG texts he will read and play. This is the #tRumPG Challenge:Design an RPG to President Trump’s requirements. Post it to social media by March 5th using the #tRumPG hashtag. As the judge I will pick two winners: 1) a game most likely to be tweeted about by Trump; and 2) a best game if you’re someone other than Trump.You may not impeach the judge if you don’t like his verdict.

One of the co-workers on my little team of 4 people today mentioned out of nowhere how excited he was to be getting into a new roleplaying game his friend was into. Little joint called “Dogs in the Vineyard.”

I was like “that’s a great game! Also I did some of the illustrations.”

I just was looking at a thing set in the 90s, presented as an artifact from those days — an email composed at a terminal — and an anachronism leaped out at me? Because in the 90s people on the internet didn’t put question marks after declarative sentences? To indicate some kind of characteristic Millennial diffidence or something?
